I would find it very weird to see him play in Moncton, let alone at the casino. And then I guess I think it is weird enough I see pictures of him with a electric in his hands. Who knows what is bound to happen, I am just hoping for the best.

Does anyone have any reviews or setlist from the last 2 shows Mississauga and\or Niagara?

Last night's show was better than Thursday's. That's my review. :lol: Better crowd last night meant more band interaction.
I happened to catch the soundcheck, which was really cool. I got out of my car around 4pm and could hear Gord, and I thought, oh, that's cool, they're playing the album on the loudspeakers. Then I clued in, and was like, no, wait, that's real! So I grabbed my camera and followed Gord's voice. I saw about 20 to 30mins of the soundcheck. They played Moonslow Yer Lashes, which I think was supposed to be the last song of the night, but they ran out of time and it got skipped.

Here's a link to the soundcheck pics: Soundcheck - July 3, 2010
I had bought a VIP ticket, just because I liked the idea of "priority seating" that they advertised. Well, this turned out to be a good purchase. VIP ticket holders got free food, free drinks, AND got to go in a separate pit area at the front.

I didn't notice on Thursday, but last night they were selling t-shirts - a black one with the album cover, and a nice baby blue one with the painted image of Gord walking away.
